The closure of a GP practice with 14,000 patients in Co Fermanagh would be ‘disastrous’ for those in the area, one of its patients has said.
The future of the Maple Healthcare practice in Lisnaskea is in doubt after its operators said it would be handing the contract for the practice back to the Department of Health.
“Excessive stresses and intolerable pressures" on the practice have forced its partners to make the decision to hand back the contract, it emerged on Friday.
